Sidney Mear (born June 23, 1918) is a legendary trumpet player and former professor at the Eastman School of Music in Rochester, New York. He studied with cornet legends such as Herbert L. Clarke and Bohumir Kryl as a child and later with Pattee Evenson at the Eastman School.〔(''Alumni Bio for Sidney Mear'' ), Eastman School of Music, 2006〕 He was a member of the Rochester Philharmonic from 1940 - 1968, serving as principal trumpet from 1947-1968. During his career, he performed under some of the world's most prominent conductors/composers, including Igor Stravinsky, Erich Leinsdorf, Eugene Ormandy, Carlos Chavez, Jose Iturbi, Sir Thomas Beecham, Fritz Reiner Leonard Bernstein, Aaron Copland, and Dmitri Mitropoulos.
In 1936, at the age of 18, he joined the famous Horace Heidt and his Brigadiers big band as lead trumpet, upon the recommendation of Herbert L. Clarke. His solo performances were featured on many national radio broadcasts, including the hit number "Hot Lips". 〔William Picher, (''A Life of Excellence in Playing and Teaching: An Interview With Sidney Mear'' ), ''International Trumpet Guild Journal'', January, 2004〕 He performed with Frank Holton (founder of the Holton Instrument Company) and was a soloist with the Karl King Band at an American Bandmasters Association Convention. He also performed with Edwin Franko Goldman's 60-piece band during the 1939 Golden Gate International Exposition in San Francisco.〔
When he turned 19, Mear accepted a scholarship to attend the Rochester, New York based Eastman School of Music and pursued his ambition to play in a symphony orchestra. 〔(''Trumpeter who quit jazz for classics Plays Tonight'' ), ''Pittsburgh Post-Gazette'', February 22, 1940〕 He joined the Rochester Philharmonic three years later, in 1940.〔 His music is featured on recordings with the Eastman-Rochester Orchestra on the Mercury Living Presence record label. The CDs include classic solo performances in Samuel Barber’s ''Capricorn Concerto'', Copland’s ''Quiet City'', and Leroy Anderson’s ''Trumpeter’s Lullaby'', which was recorded in a single take, without rehearsal.〔 From 1940 through 1942, Mear was also a member of and recorded with the Orquestra Sinfonica de Mexico under Carlos Chavez and in 1945 toured the United States with the Philadelphia Orchestra under Eugene Ormandy.〔 During World War II Mear served with the 184th Army Ground Forces Band and later was transferred to the First Combat Infantry Band (FCIB) in Washington, D.C., under Chester E. Whiting. FCIB evolved into the United States Army Field Band.
